Also, great to see you, Dark. I gotta go real soon, but I'm glad you're still around.

Question for the min-maxers and home brewers who lurk around these parts:

I am making a circus show themed Rogue subclass and one of their abilities (9th level) allows them to spend their action performing in an attempt to distract an opponent. If they succeed, the next person to attack the target has advantage and adds the rogue's sneak attack damage to the attack roll. 

So they sacrifice their attack to give a different character advantage on the attack and the sneak attack damage. Do I need to put a limit on how often they can use this ability? 

 I would say yes, and a proximity thing as well. If you don't have it, the rogue could be like 100 feet away the entire combat while the next has a near permanent boost.

 I wouldn't say so. I'd actually say it's a bit weak. Your relying on three forces outside your control, your enemy, three separate dice rolls, and your allies, just to potentially deal an average of about five more damage, assuming we're dealing with a greatsword-wielding barbarian. That's chump change for a rogue.

 Yeah, I've been trying to think of ways to make it a little more useful. Maybe the target has disadvantage on their next attack or something. This isn't really the main feature either.

 It's great to see you too man. It has been awhile. Summer is a lot more hectic for me but I'll be popping in every once and awhile. And if we do that pathfinder game I'll make sure to be active for that.

 Proximity is a good thing to keep in mind, thanks.

 I’d say probably, that’s a little similar to the grave cleric domain feature but less powerful, so I’d give it plenty of uses. Double your proficiency bonus amount or something. It’s an amazing combo and could be paired easily with a paladin for high damage, but it also feels weak in the regard that this is a very party reliant ability. It’s fun though and I like it, the solution I think would be to give it a more consistent second ability. But that’s just my opinion.

 I think that’s perfectly fine, the wording should work like a mix between the grave domain channel divinity and the swashbuckler panache one.

 Good to know, I hadn't thought of the grave cleric and or the swashbuckler abilities. I'll give them a look. 

The rest of the subclass is based around a list of Tricks that they can do like juggling, contortion, bullet catching, etc all based around circus-style acts. There is a long list of Tricks that they. can choose from and they can pick a few every few levels.

I rewrote an entire warlock subclass at 1:00 AM.

It's called the Celebrity Chef, and it came from a book that I spent way too much money on and haven't been able to use any of. The adventure is stupid, the player options are bad, and they didn't list a CR for any monsters or rarity for any magic items.

This subclass is sort of a build-a-bear type of player option, which would be awesome if any of the options were good. The only okay ones are pretty janky (Household Name gives you advantage on Persuasion checks against every creature on your home plane, and Branded Knife Set only works on anything other than daggers if you take Pact of the Blade, which was a big deal in the 2014 version. This book was written during the OGL crisis).

Anyway, it's probably overpowered now, but at least it functions.

Quick, someone give me a name for a city. Preferably on that doesn’t sound too fantastical and gives off a vibe of slight spookiness

 Thank you Baalze

Would anyone like to help me with a thread? 

It’s kinda like Tarasque’s Ascend to Godhood but the exact opposite, with fallen gods that are being hunted by mortals. You can play as a fallen god or a hunter, and you can play as any god from different multiverses, all brought into one multiverse.
